Hoover (Ala.) defensive tackle Kerry Murphy, one of the top prospects in the state of Alabama for the class of 2007, could be nearing a decision date.

"It's possible (that I will commit) at the end of the month," Murphy said.

Murphy did not name a leader on Wednesday, but the 6-foot-5, 315-pounder did say that four schools, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss and Kentucky, are the programs that he is the most focused on at the moment.
